Reply #275: Late-Term Abortion Ban - I'm for it

[liberalpragmatist]

The country is not divided as a whole on abortion. Partisans are. The political parties are.

The political reality is this: the vast majority of Americans agrees with leaving the right to choose unrestricted for the first 1 or 2 trimesters but are uncomfortable with late-term abortions. Ban late-term abortions after viability (to be determined by doctors) and make broad exceptions for the life and health of the mother. That's what's done in Europe. (although I opposed the Partial-Birth abortion ban b/c it didn't include those exceptions)

Also make the goal fewer abortions and focus on improved sex ed , education, and family planning (although I don't think these are unpopular views).
